Özet
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin found in the wall of gram-negative bacteria and causes acute inflammation when it enters the tissues. 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (18β-GA) is a substance found in licorice root and is responsible for this plant's antiallergic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. This study aimed to examine the possible effects of 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid on the damage caused by LPS in kidney tissue. The study divided 40 Sprague Dawley adult male rats into 5 equal groups (n = 8). The groups were created as follows; the control group; the group that received 1cc physiological saline throughout the experiment was the DMSO group; DMSO, an intraperitoneal carrier substance, was given. LPS group; A single dose of 7.5 mg/kg intraperitoneal (i.p) LPS was administered. 18β-GA50+LPS group; 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid was given by gavage at 50 mg/kg daily for 10 days, followed by a single dose of 7.5 mg/kg i.p. LPS was administered. 18β-GA100+LPS group; 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid was administered by gavage at 100 mg/kg daily for 10 days, followed by a single dose of 7.5 mg/kg i.p. LPS was administered. 18β-GA100 group; 18β-glycyrrhetinic was given by gavage at 100 mg/kg daily for 10 days. 24 hours after LPS application to all groups, the kidney tissues of the rats were removed under anesthesia and placed in 10% formaldehyde. Histopathological and oxidative stress parameters analyses were performed in kidney tissue. These findings raised the possibility that 18β-GA could be an adjuvant therapy that protects kidney tissue from LPS-induced oxidative and tissue damage effects and reduces its side effects.
